I have some things delivered to me; local flour products, for example, are only available by driving out of the city, so they mail stuff to me. The local dairy, too, is out of reach (and my home is out of their delivery range, too), so I have them deliver milk to my office and carry it home in a backpack on the train. Also, I intentionally located myself 5 blocks away from the farmers market

I'm really impressed at what you can do with two small children! I have just one (age 2 1/2), but he gets into EVERYTHING and so taking him on the bus with my arms full sounds like a nightmare. I'm part of a CSA and we shop at the farmers' market and do u-picks whenever we can. After picking peaches I had to process them ASAP because my son had picked up each peach and dropped it. Why? I

Great post. I have the same conversation with myself. In fact, this was a timely post as I have taken a break from reading food blogs by people without kids because I get frustrated when I can't keep up with their efforts. For myself, we make small changes one at a time and let them become old hat before we move on to the next change. I had a CSA box for 3 years before I did anything else.

I can't wait to hear about your winter-time eat local adventures!

(And, the new blog design is now right on the money...can't wait for you to see!)

Hope you are well!

I prioritize buying in my neighborhood, and supporting neighborhood businesses (including chain groceries), over eating local. Fortunately, we live a short walk from our neighborhood farmers market, where we can do both. Our main focus, both for convenience and for our commitment to walkable neighborhoods, is to shop where we live. No car for eight years, occasional Flexcar, lots of bus (
